Sumas Elementary Newsletter
OCTOBER 2014
FROM THE CAFETERIA:
Meal applications are now due! Please fill out
and return the meal application for the 2014-2015
school year as soon as possible. You must
complete a new application each school year, or
the students will be required to pay full price for
their meals until a new application is returned and
approved. Additional applications are available in
the office.
FROM THE COUNSELOR:
This month in Character Ed we have been studying
rules and responsibility. This has been a great time
for us to review the four school rules and why we
have rules both in and outside of school. One of
the four school rules is "be responsible." We spent
time learning more about what the word
responsible means and how we can act responsibly.
If you have any questions about what we covered
this month or would like to learn more about
Character Ed, please feel free to contact me.
Jean Klein, Sumas Elementary Counselor
VOLUNTEER INFORMATION:
We appreciate our volunteers and recognize that
each of you make an important contribution to our
school! Please remember that all volunteers must
fill out an application every two years and we will
need to make a copy of your driver’s license to
accompany the application.
PTO FUNDRAISER:
Our fall fundraiser will kick off on October 2nd and
run through October 14th. We will be offering
Dee’s butterbraids and pastry puffins, and Java
Joe’s coffee. Tentative pick-up date is November
14th. Look for information coming home with your
student.
ASB CARDS:
Elementary ASB cards are available to purchase in
the office for students in grades K-5. Cost is
$11.00 and will allow the student entry into every
home Nooksack athletic event excluding
tournaments and playoff games. If paying by
check, ASB purchases must be on a separate check

SPECIAL THANK YOU:
Sumas Elementary would like to thank all of the
individuals, churches and other organizations that have
donated supplies, backpacks and other materials to our
school to help out our students in need. Your contributions
are greatly appreciated.
PTO SKATING PARTY:
The first PTO Skating Party for the year will be Monday,
October 20, from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. at Lynden Skateway.
This is great family fun! The PTO/PTAs of Nooksack,
Sumas, and Everson Elementaries are sponsoring
combined parties at Lynden Skateway this year. Come with
your friends and meet new friends from the other
elementary schools. Admission is $4.50 per person
including skate rental. (Roller blades are an additional
$2.00)
Please remember your child must be
accompanied by a parent or guardian.
BUS CHANGE NOTES - “PINK SLIPS”:
We have sent home with your child a packet of “Student
Change/Bus Change Notice” slips. These are to be used if
your child needs to be dismissed early from school or will
be going home a different way than usual. Please fill out
both sides of the notice and send it to school with your
child. One side will be kept in the office for our records
and the other will be given to the student to give to the bus
driver. Only those students with bus change notices will be
allowed to ride home a different way.
STUDENT MEDICATIONS - Please remember that
any medication that needs to be taken at school must be
administered through the office and have written
permission by both the parent and physician. This rule
applies to both non-prescription and prescription
medications. An adult must bring the medication to
school. Please do not send them with students. Please call
our school nurse, Tammy Ferris, at 988-9423 if you have
any questions.
